Ghana: FIFA appoints a normalisation committee to hold elections before 31/03/2019

"Following the recent meeting between FIFA and Government of Ghana officials together with the head of the FIFA/CAF liaison team for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) concerning the situation of the GFA, and taking into consideration the subsequent withdrawal by Ghana authorities of the petition to liquidate the GFA, the Bureau of the FIFA Council decided on 27/08/2018 to appoint a normalisation committee for the GFA. The suspension of the GFA will consequently not take effect," announced the international federation on 29/08/2018.

According to FIFA, "the normalisation committee's mandate will include the following tasks:
• To run the GFA's daily affairs and cooperate with the special task force once it has been set up by FIFA, CAF and the Government of Ghana
• To review the GFA statutes to ensure compliance with the requirements of FIFA and CAF, particularly art. 15 of the FIFA Statutes (see below), and;
• Once the GFA statutes meet the requirements of FIFA and CAF, to organise and conduct elections of a GFA executive committee on the basis of the revised GFA statutes"
